Hi Folks, Today, in this post we will talk about very interesting topic: Compile and compile forward. Well, compilation is a process which converts X++ Code into P-Code. Compilation mostly used when there are stack trace errors and AX crash because of it. Difference between compile and compile forward: Compile: Compilation can be done for all the objects in the AOT. We can do the compilation in 6 ways which are following: 1) Individual objects compilation: (Select the object, right click and choose compile) 2. Group objects compilation:  (Select the objects group, right click and choose compile) 3. Entire application compilation from the AOT (Application object tree): (Right click on the AOT and choose compile) 4. Entire application compilation from the front end. (Go to System administration/Area Page/Periodic and click on compile application) 5. Parallel compilation using command prompt. To know more please click here Compile forward:
